Instructor Annotations on Assignments

Students will discover that some faculty require uploading documents into Canvas assignments where they can use the comments/annotation tools to highlight and add feedback directly into the student’s document. This procedure shows students how to view these comments and how to download a PDF version of the assignment with embedded feedback.

First, go to the assignment location. Here are a couple of ways to do that (click on the images for a larger view).

Once you have the assignment listed as shown here, click the preview icon to the right of the assignment title.

This will display a preview window you can use to view the assignment document with instructor feedback.

You may find it easier to download a PDF version of the document which you can do using the Download Icon as shown here.
